They are extremely friendly. They gave me my car back without me paying for it. I paid for it the next day, but they gave it to me the day before because I needed it. There aren't many repair shops that would do something like that.

The only thing is whenever I go up there and I ask them when I can bring it in they always say right now or they do it real quick and they do an excellent job. I was just up there the other day. I said when can I bring it in, and they said I'll do it right now. Him and his wife are very nice people.

I have been going there for fifteen years and I have always been extremely happy and satisfied with the repair and the friendliness of the staff. I have recommended at least half a dozen people. I remember one time he didn't have the car ready so he gave me his own car until mine was ready.

I have had my car serviced there for a number of years. Sometimes there were difficult problems but he always came through. I had an Italian car that had it's own personality and A 1 Foreign always knew what to do to maker her happy. The mechanics there are very confident and very trustworthy.

I have been going to his shop for 20 years so I know him quite well. During those 20 years he has demonstrated a very acute knowledge of auto repair. I have a friend who is a mechanical engineer who has done his own mechanical work on his own car. He has a 1964 Mercedes and the owner of A 1 told him more about his car than he even knew.

The people are really friendly they have had all the information I ever needed for anything I had to have done for my car. They explained everything in detail and it was really great. It's just a friendly family. They greet you when you come in. They just talk to you about anything and they are just really friendly people.

It's a great place. We have worked with them for a long time. They always get it right. They are reasonable. They are quick. They are very accommodating. I hate to share it because I don't want too many people to go there. They get it done on time and they are nice people.
